A brief video showing how to use GlueTread's Sidewall Seal Kit on the sidewall of an ATV tire. This kit also works great for tractors, UTVs, and other off-road tires! Check out our Sidewall Seal Kit here: www.gluetread....
The department of transportation does not allow sidewall repair for any on-road vehicle. However, we do have several customers that use the patches on full-size jeeps and other full-size, off-road vehicles that are used exclusively off-road.
Sorry but this is nothing more than a quick get out of a situation repair. Simply super gluing a bit of patch to the outside of a tyre is no way a viable repair, you've not repaired the inner liner which will eventually lead to casing separation and failure. Sorry but with 22 years as a commercial tyre fitter I've seen too many botch jobs go horribly wrong.
Great points, thanks for the comment. As mentioned, this is only a temporary solution and is only recommended for off-road use. With all of that said, we have customers that have reported leaving patches on for 2+ years and driven hundreds of miles with a tire repaired in this fashion. Again though, we only recommend this patch as a temporary, off-road solution.
Watch us ride the entire Rubicon Trail with patched tires. We've worked for years to find the right combination of rubber and adhesive that can extend the life of your tire. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SkPE-vuttkM.html
The product is meant to be a temporary patch to get you out of a tough situation. With that said, we have customers that have run several hundred miles on the patch shown in this video. As far as tire pressure goes, the patches can hold up to 40psi based on the severity of the damage and how well the patch is applied. We recommend reviewing the instructions carefully before applying the patch. Hopefully this answers your questions, let us know if there is anything else we can help with!
Great question! Our adhesive is a cyanoacrylate which is in the same family as superglue. With that said, our formula is made specifically for a rubber to rubber application. What that means is if you were to use our kit but replace it with just a normal superglue from the store, it wouldn't work at all. (feel free to give it a shot!) Thanks for the question!
You can get 2 new tires for 10 bucks? What kind of tire is that an R/C car tire? Or maybe a tire with treads showing? Possibly a junk tire in your poor Country for a whopping 10 American dollars. 😲 You're an idiot for this stupid comment. Go play doosh baggy.
